Baker women win HAAC title

Thursday night became a historic night inside the Collins Gymnasium, as the No. 13 ranked Baker University women’s basketball team defeated Peru State College, 85-63, to capture at least a share of its first HAAC regular season title since 1983.

The Wildcats have now won 16-straight HAAC conference games and are currently 23-5 overall and 16-1 in the conference, one game up on second-place No. 14 MidAmerica Nazarene University.

With a victory Saturday at Missouri Valley, Baker would win the HAAC title outright with a 17-1 record.

The Wildcat defense had another banner day causing 27 turnovers and held the Bobcats to just 30.8-percent from behind the arc.
